Backup System Crash

microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance maintenance

I just bought a my book 500 GB external hard drive and have tried to perform
a backup to it twice with no luck. I reformatted the HD to a NTFS file
system and there are no files on the disk. Both times my computer froze but
was able to boot right back into windows. I was using Media Center the second
time and that also froze right up. Not sure what to do...
